STUDENT LOOKING FOR SUMMER 2016 JOB IN SUPERCAR INDUSTRY
Discussion
Hi piston heads,
I'm a 19 year old student very knowledgable about supercars, both modern and classic, who would love an opportunity to do some summer work in the industry, and am willing to work in any sector, long hours and low pay.
I have grown up around supercars and super bikes and have loved them since a very young age, and would love to one day end up in the business, whether it be setting up a supercar dealership of my own, or perhaps a customisation business like TechArt and Brabus (or perhaps both!)
Please email me with anything you may know or you may be able to offer, and would really appreciate anything that comes my way, and am willing to work hard and to take things seriously.
Thanks,
mtrants

Thanks for the quick reply!
I've grown up in the passenger seat of supercars for 19 years now and have grown up in a wide network of supercar owners, and this privilege has led to a certain passion and understanding, which I believe is innate. Also, my interests and experiences are with both modern cars and classic cars as well, which is important as my knowledge and understanding is not narrowed down to just the biggest and best ferrari or Lamborghini in 2014/15/16.
Similarly, I'd consider myself, as a 19 year old, very aware of the way that the social side to the supercar industry is developing, such as car spotting but more importantly supercar vlogging such as Shmee150 and SeenThroughGlass - I find this fascinating and use it as a platform for developing my supercar awareness.
Although I consider myself knowledgable currently, I am nowhere near as knowledgable as I would like to be, and therefore I believe applying for a summer intern of any sort would help me achieve this!
hope that helps and thanks very much,
Max

In which aspects? You dont let on.The automotive industry as you no doubt well know is so vast.
Are you good with electrical stuff? Mechanical stuff? A good journalist? A talented driver?
If someone from, lets say BMW replyed to your post and offered you any role within the company for your placement, what would you ask to do (realistically, based upon your experiences)
At the moment it comes accross as you dont really know what you want. Anyone who is potentially going to offer you a placement will see this and be put off.
Btw, are you in uni? What are you studying?

So... what you're saying is you watch YouTube? Awesome.What insights do you have regarding car spotting and how it pertains to supercars?

Can't any of your existing contacts that you've been around for so long assist?
That's not really the point here mate, and nothing special about me not going out and getting something on my own, just relying on contacts is there?Why not look at the careers section on the websites of your favourite marques for starters. Prospective enquiries never hurt anyone either. Often generic careers emails addresses which you can register your interest in potential employment.
The dramatic thread title looks somewhat similar to what an adolescent version of myself wrote at a school careers meeting. Suggest thinking about what skills you have actually gained and why they would be useful to a prospective employer.
You need to articulate and be able to state what exactly that experience growing up has given you in the way of skills, knowledge, etc. on a CV, email or letter.
Simply because you have been lucky enough to be surrounded by such special vehicles doesn't make you any more desirable to an employer than my mate John from the boozer.
Nonetheless, I wish you the best of luck in whatever you do. I'm sure most members of PH would like to be doing something 'supercar' related but we've had to concede defeat and now fester away in various offices up and down the land. Be realistic, even the most menial placement could be the stepping stone to something in the future.
